Aaron Donald He may be retired from the NFL, but the discus thrower is convinced the man can do it Still They have an elite career in track and field.
TMZ Sports Caught with Reggie Jaggers — who threw the discus for the red, white and blue during the 2020 Tokyo Games — is out in Los Angeles this month… and said he’s sure Donald can throw the shot put at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles if he puts his mind to it.
Jagers told us there’s not a lot of technique involved…and given the brute strength and training money Donald has, it wouldn’t shock him one bit to see the former Ram have success in this event.
In fact, Jaggers said he’d be there to help prepare Donald… sending a message to the future Pro Football Hall of Famer right at the airport.
“Aaron Donald, stop,” he said. “I know you just retired. But in track and field, you can have a long career.”
It’s unclear if Donald has tried his hand at the sport… but we do know that the 34-year-old is still in crazy shape. Just check out the workout he posted last week — looks like he can still rush the passer in the NFC West!!
